Date: late-Ieneuer, when the kidnappings related to The Salvation of Geardagas start
Format: text

There's been a word on the streets, of people being assaulted, disappearing attempts of kidnappings— that's not a word anyone who was here a year ago wants to hear again, plenty of us might be already on edge. But whatever is going on this time? Whoever it is? They're not as good as the scum behind what happened a year ago. That means we have a bigger window to act and to protect each other.

My idea is: let's put together a list of Mirrorbounds willing to guard those returning home. Whether it's for those who work far away from the Haven or stay at Coven classes long after its dark or just anyone that would feel safer in the company.

I'll start

I work at Inkchanted, it's located in the docks, near the Slydog tavern. I tend to work afternoons and evenings, so if anyone also finishes their job at docks around that time, I can walk you back to Haven. I could also pick up someone working on the western edges of the shopping district.

[ Because he's not about to admit this publicly. ]

i've noticed because one tried to take me when i was walking alone...i defended myself. let's leave it at that.

sh

It's always something terrible or amazing when you get cryptic like that mention above.

Did they got shot at you?

[curruid_coinchenn]

they tried.

[ ... ]

i panicked and nearly killed them. or i did kill them. i'm not sure. [ He doesn't remember. ] i was acting on instinct alone.

[futhark]

[ ... ]

Sounds like reliving a nightmare. I do not envy you that experience.

You did well. They made it a battlefield, they better be prepared to die on it.

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ Somehow, he hadn't expected a positive reaction. It's a small comfort to know he didn't completely fuck up by returning to his old, bad habits. ]

it was and i can't say i'm proud of what i did. i just did what i had to, nothing more.

i'm not letting them take me without a fight. not again. and i won't let them take anyone else.

[futhark]

You were defending yourself, there is no dishonour in that

[curruid_coinchenn]

i'm mostly bothered i lost control...but what's done is done. a death might serve as a lesson to the rest of them.

[futhark]

I understand. It's... suddenly all too easy to have control slip.

[curruid_coinchenn]

and here i thought i was done jumping at shadows.

[futhark]

What can be expected that something unexpected always happens

How's Diarmuid doing? Does he still work in Diplomatea?

[curruid_coinchenn]

yes. and he's fine. i haven't told him what happened.

[ Not that he isn't aware on some level that something went wrong a few nights ago, just not the whole "almost kidnapped" thing. ]

[futhark]

[ With Bonds, especially close ones, it's hard to miss intense moments like these. So Diarmuid is probably already aware something happened. Just isn't aware of the scope of that something ]

...are you telling me this incident is not to be spoken of at all?

[curruid_coinchenn]

...for now. i will tell him, just...not right now.
